Vince Carter opted out of the final year of a contract with the New Jersey Nets that would have paid the All-Star guard $16.3 million this coming season.

$16 million is a lot of money. Is this the end of his career in New Jersey? I thought I heard a rumor he wanted to go to Miami.

Yeah, I get the feeling he's done in New Jersey, and Miami certainly is the most likely destination.

I wonder what this means for the Nets and the possible Jermaine O'Neal trade. Will the talks intensify now that Carter's gone?

This was expected. Carter was to opt out and they would reach a new deal.

Nothing that wasn't expected yet...but some other team could theoretically jump in with a bigger money offer. But the Nets want him back.
